The wheels of the carriage spun.
Garon turned sideways to look at the scenery outside the window.
In the distant blue sky, a few large black dots circled slowly, chirping from afar.
The green grassland stretched as far as the eye could see, and the hills rose and fell continuously. A few black sheep the size of calves lowered their heads to nibble on the grass, occasionally looking up curiously at the three carriages passing by.
The fresh morning air flowed in through the window.
Garon lowered his head, looking at the resonance stone in his hand, playing with it carefully.
His left index finger lit up with a black flame from time to time, leaving tactical symbols in the air. His right hand kept flipping the resonance stone.
Putting down his left hand, Garon picked up the pen on the table, dipped it in ink, and started recording in his notebook.
After recording, he started flipping the resonance stone again.
"How is it? Did you get anything? "Reylan sat up from the opposite seat and bed, yawning softly.
Garon nodded.
"It's alright. But it's difficult. The sensing tactic you gave me is pretty good, it can amplify this frequency to a certain extent, and use it to sense, but it requires Silver Energy. "
"Silver Energy is the foundation to support totem activities and tactics. I didn't expect you to have so much Silver Energy to use tactics. " Reylan shook her head, "According to our research, Silver Energy is determined by a Luminarist's mental state. The better the mental state, the more Silver Energy. "
Garon nodded.
"I've always been in good health, and my mental state is good too. You don't have to worry about this. "
He picked up the pen again, and recorded a new line of data in his notebook.
"We've left the fortress for two days, that fortress should be near Ferrochrome Town. We should be reaching Aisley City by now, right? "
Reylan took a glass of water from the table, drank it in one gulp, sighed in relief, and started putting on her coat.
"According to our increased speed, it should be about time." She sat by the window on the other side, and looked out.
Cough cough …
Lala's coughing came from the front carriage again, as if her organs were about to be coughed out.
"Stop the carriage! Stop the carriage!! "A young man came down from the front carriage, it was the totem user guarding Lala from the Hunting Group. His expression was terrible, and he quickly waved his hand at Garon's carriage.
The three carriages gradually slowed down and stopped.
Garon opened the carriage door and walked towards the man.
"What's wrong? What happened? "
"Lala coughed up blood just now! We have to find a way to help her! " "I can't stand it anymore. She's just an ordinary person. She shouldn't be punished like this."
"I'll go take a look." Garon frowned.
He followed the man into the first carriage and immediately saw a large pool of blood on the floor of the carriage.
Lala lay sideways on the floor of the carriage, her face as white as a sheet.
Garon's face darkened as he glanced at the others. Angel shrugged at him helplessly.
Frowning her brows, Vicky replied, "I've seen this disease in Sichel County. It seems to be Mia tuberculosis, and it might be contagious."
Immediately, the expressions of the other people in the carriage became somewhat unnatural.
"I'll do it." Garon said indifferently, and went forward to pick Lala up by the waist. He turned around and walked towards the third carriage.
Lala had lost a lot of weight, probably less than eighty pounds. She was so skinny that she didn't even look human anymore.
Garon took some time to look at her face.
Her cheeks were sunken and her eyes were lifeless. She was just skin and bones.
"There's no medicine, no specialist doctor. I'm sorry, it's my fault." Garon's voice was low as he placed her in the carriage of the third carriage, leaning against a wooden barrel filled with dried meat.
"This is my own choice." Lala's voice was very weak. Ordinary people could only vaguely hear her if she was close to their ears. "It's my own choice … I want to follow you …"
Garon looked at the girl who had been taking care of him with all her heart. He was a little uncertain. If there was no suitable treatment, Lala would definitely die. During this period of time, he had unknowingly neglected her, causing her condition to worsen to this extent.
He reached out to feel Lala's pulse. It was very weak, and he could barely feel it beating.
"There's a way to save you now, but I can't guarantee that it'll work. Everything depends on luck. It's just a possibility. "
Lala's eyes widened. "I can still … live?"
"But you'll have to give up your freedom as the price." Garon nodded to confirm her question.
Actually, both of them knew that if it was tuberculosis, it was almost a death sentence.
There was no hesitation in Lala's eyes.
"Then I'll leave it to you. I'm just an ordinary person. In this world and era, I don't have much freedom to speak of. "She was a law student, so she could see everything clearly. She knew that Garon was already treating her very well. If it was another master, she might have been eaten up long ago.
Garon admired her rationality and wisdom. Being able to know her limits and knowing when to advance and retreat was Lala's greatest strength. As for her beautiful appearance, it was only the second most important. In this world, if you wanted to find a beautiful vase, you could find one anywhere. However, such a beautiful and wise girl was extremely rare.
"Then you're ready." Garon turned around and looked at the Hunting Group members who were looking at them from outside.
"You guys wait outside first. I'll try to save Lala."
Angel nodded at him with a playful smile on her face.
"Up to you. As long as your 'cute' sister doesn't get jealous."
Garon was too lazy to talk nonsense with her. He closed the door of the carriage and pulled the curtains.
Looking at Lala in her white nightgown, he squatted down.
"Rest for a while. You'll be fine when you wake up."
Lala nodded slightly.
"I'll leave it to you, Master Garon."
"Mm." Garon's hand was as fast as lightning, and instantly chopped the side of Lala's neck.
Lala's eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Garon took out the red crystal ball from his underwear pocket without hesitation, and gently placed it beside Lala's head.
The red crystal ball suddenly glowed slightly. A line of fine words appeared on top of it.
'Discovered a creature nearby. Would you like to empower the creature?'
"This is an experiment. If it succeeds, you'll live. If it fails, you're dead. It'll depend on your luck. "Garon looked at the words on the crystal ball, and gently reached out his hand, and pressed 'Yes'.
Instantly, the crystal ball glowed with silver light, and turned from pink to silver. A silver light beam shot out from the center, and landed directly on the right side of Lala's temple.
Hiss …
Suddenly, a white gas appeared on Lala's head, as if it was water vapor.
Garon stared at the Crystal Derivator nervously. This experiment was the key to whether he could successfully empower the human body. After Jessica was empowered, she disappeared, and there was no news about her now. However, to a certain extent, it confirmed that the empowerment could indeed choose humans. Although this was not what he had in mind, it still had a certain reference value.
This was the last slot, and the tenth slot controlled by the Derivator. It would depend on whether he could succeed or not.
The silver light beam lasted for more than ten minutes, before it slowly thinned and dimmed.
When the silver light completely disappeared, Garon quickly kept the crystal ball, and then began to check on Lala's condition.
Everything was normal, and there was no difference from before the empowerment. Even her body was still weak.
"Failed?" Garon looked at the crystal ball, and it showed that the empowerment was successful.
He looked at the bottom of his field of vision. If it was successful, there would definitely be a totem display here.
As expected, in the column of the empowered totem, an unfamiliar icon appeared clearly. It was a three-dimensional image of Lala's entire body.
'Lala Pearson: First form living totem, can be upgraded. Evolution success rate: 89% (The weaker the body, the higher the success rate). Potential point consumption: 300%.
Abilities: Housework, Learning. '
"It actually formed a totem." Garon was shocked. He looked at Lala, who was lying down. The girl was gently opening her eyes, and looking at him in a daze.
Garon's heart moved. "Lala, can you hear me?" He directly sent a message through his mind, and did not speak.
Lala opened her mouth in confusion, but immediately understood, and her face was filled with shock.
"This …!?" She looked at Garon, and felt that she could decide whether she lived or died according to his mood, but the weakness from the tuberculosis had completely disappeared.
She felt that her heart was beating strong and powerful.
"Don't be suspicious, I am using my mind to communicate with you. In a sense, you have already become my exclusive creature. Your life and death is in my hands. "Garon explained carefully." Do you feel any difference in yourself now? "
Lala nodded, and was a little hesitant. Similarly, she only sent a thought through her mind.
"My illness seems to have recovered …"
"That's good." Garon nodded satisfactorily. "The experiment is considered a success, you should get used to your body. It should be much safer than before. "
The greatest benefit of becoming a totem creature was that it was very difficult for them to be harmed by other creatures. For example, illness, accidents, etc.
Pulling open the door, Garon got out of the carriage, and saw Reylan waiting outside with a gloomy expression. Her old and shriveled face faintly showed a trace of unwillingness and jealousy.
"Brother, looks like you don't want to listen to my advice." Her voice was very gloomy. "Do you know what the consequences are if you don't listen to me?"
Garon could hear the strong threat in her words, and he narrowed his eyes.
"I don't remember what you said to me?"
Reylan laughed coldly. She didn't say anything else, and just turned around to return to the carriage.
Garon looked at her back, and for the first time, he felt that letting this person stay by his side might be the wrong choice. Even though she taught him a lot of knowledge that the outside world couldn't get.
"Be careful, your sister looks a little abnormal."
Angel went to Garon's side and whispered. Before she finished, the two of them saw Reylan, who had walked far away, suddenly turn her head, and stared at Angel with her terrifying eyes.
Angel snorted coldly, and led her to the first carriage.
Garon looked at Reylan, and didn't know what to do for a moment. He got into the carriage a little later, but saw Reylan's back facing him, and she covered herself with the blanket and fell asleep.
It wasn't until noon that Reylan got up and hurriedly ate something, and then went back to sleep.
Garon felt that it was strange, and temporarily put this matter to the back of his mind. If he encountered some problems that he didn't understand, he might as well solve them himself. With his foundation, it wasn't difficult for him to do in-depth research on some knowledge with a foundation.
It wasn't until night that they dealt with a group of more than ten white cats. These white cats were actually as big as horses, and their claws were very sharp. They weren't totems, and were taken care of by one of Angel's men in black alone. They were all left to be roasted into jerky, and their fur could be used to make clothes.
After dinner, Garon studied bioengineering for a while, and then directly went to sleep.
Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong, and in a daze, he seemed to feel a little uncomfortable.
Garon hazily tried to open his eyes, and actually saw Reylan standing straight beside him, looking down at him. Her eyes were fluorescent red, and glowed in the darkness.
"Reylan? What's wrong? "Garon hadn't woken up yet, and looked at Reylan standing beside him.
Reylan didn't say a word, and turned back to her seat, and went back to sleep. She didn't answer Garon's question at all.
Garon rubbed his head, and sat up. Suddenly, he felt that something was wrong with his cup.
He picked up the cup on the table, and a small black thing actually came out of it, and wanted to fly out of the window.
Pa!
Garon pinched the small black thing. He opened it up to take a look. It was actually a small black bug that looked like a cockroach, and was only the size of a fingernail.
